Triangle over New Orleans, LA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I was in my meditation room with the lights dimmed facing two windows. I was looking down, when something caught my eye, causing me to look up to the window. I saw three bright flashing lights in a triangular pattern with one flashing red light up towards the apex of the triangle which seemed unusually close as I peered outside of my window. At first, I thought it was a plane, but then I quickly saw that it was not, that it was a perfect triangle and that there was something very peculiar about this craft. After it flew out of my view, I immediately ran to the adjacent bedroom to see if I could see it out of that window. I could not, so I grabbed a pen and paper to draw what I saw, as I did so I looked at my phone and saw that it was 11:11. The craft was flying southeast towards the Mississippi River. After the incident, I thought I heard some electricity sounding noises, like static and beeps, but I just figured it was the air conditioner. The air seemed electric after the incident, like there was more static electricity in the air. ((ADDENDUM FROM WITNESS)) *Addendum to West Riverside 3 White flashing Lights and 1 Red Flashing Light Triangle Pattern A sentence got cut from my last report. The craft I saw outside of my mediation room window was completely silent and traveling at a low and rather slow pace compared to other planes.

Ask for the records
What would the paper say?
For a dated, located U.S. sighting, FAA radar data and ATC communications are the records most likely to exist. Through Aletheca, the house instrument, anyone can commission the request — filed, chased, and published in the open, refusals included. The draft goes over already written: the records sought, and the date window they would live in.

A friend and I had just packed up our kayaks after paddling on the bayou St John. I was shaking my friend's hand good evening when I saw behind him two bright white lights. They looked to be less than a mile away above City Park, coming toward us; roughly the width of a commercial plane's wings if it were very near. The lights were unblinking which is why I pointed it out to my friend. As we stood watching and wondering what aircraft had those lights, the lights rose together and appeared to be banking like a plane then phased out as if they flew behind a cloud bank. I could still see stars where the lights disappeared so there was no cloud. There was no engine noise of a commercial jet. We stood and watched to see if they would re-appear and that's when I saw two separate, unblinking lights on the horizon above City Park that raised and faded out one after the other.

On walking around the French Quarter with my friend, who was another witness, I noticed a high flying light in the sky that appeared to be near low earth orbit. At first I thought it might be a satellite, but I noticed that it seemed to be making slight direction adjustments on its path. It must have been moving very quickly because it was out of view in about 2 minutes and I watched it go across the whole sky. At about 1 minute of watching it, I noticed another UFO coming from the opposite direction in an almost perfectly intersecting path with the first one. By the time they were near each other, they were EXTREMELY close to actually colliding. If this is a satellite, I find it very irresponsible that the people in charge of these would allow them to fly this close to each other at those speeds. If they hit, that could cause major damage on the ground. Due to the flight adjustments the first one was making, however, I highly doubt it was a satellite. They just appeared to be bright lights high up. I also witnessed another similar thing not far from there with another gentleman the previous week.

I stepped out of my back apartment and saw a large star with red blood lights. I went into the main house and onto the front porch to take a closer look. I tried using an app to identify the star, but could not. When I tried to take a picture of it, it faded behind the clouds. I ran inside. I went into the front bedroom moments later and peeked out the window. It had returned.

I was walking along a path on the levee in Gretna Louisiana at dusk and taking occasional pictures of the city skyline. We’re looking at one of the pictures I take and there was an object in the sky that I hadn’t seen when taking the photo however it appeared when I looked at the picture.

Out on a walk through the French quarter when myself and about 6+ people looked up in the sky at this floating orb. Everyone was intrigued. I knew immediately it was an ET. I have since been doing further information. What I’ve learned about this orb, is that the ETs have gotten smart and don’t show their ships as much. They literally materialize into our atmosphere before showing their ship so that the air force doesn’t shoot them down. I am a full believer in inter Leo gent life outside of planet earth.

i saw two craft. they were boomerang shaped with rectangular low lit windows shaped like rectangles on the underside of the craft. Each craft was about half a city block, grey in color, silent no smoke , no sound moving about 180 mph. about 400 - 700 feet high. Witness does not stipulate the year of his sighting. We will attempt to clarify the date. PD
